Technical Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. Particularly, the present invention relates to a method for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system and a device therefor, the method comprising the step of transmitting the uplink signal through a plurality of SC-FDMA symbols within a subframe, wherein: the uplink signal includes RI and HARQ-ACK information; the plurality of SC-FDMA symbols include an SC-FDMA symbol #n for an RS, an SC-FDMA symbol of a first set for the RI, and an SC-FDMA symbol of a second set for the HARQ-ACK; n is an integer of 0 or more; the SC-FDMA symbol of the first set includes SC-FDMA symbols #n−2, #n+2, #n+5 and #n+6; and the SC-FDMA symbol of the second set includes SC-FDMA symbols #n−1, #n+1, #n+3 and #n+4.

Patent Claims
12 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method of transmitting an uplink signal at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: generating rank information (RI) and hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information; transmitting the uplink signal via a plurality of single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols in a subframe, wherein the uplink signal includes the RI and the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the plurality of SC-FDMA symbols includes SC-FDMA symbol #n for a reference signal (RS), a first set of SC-FDMA symbols for the RI and a second set of SC-FDMA symbols for the HARQ-ACK and n denotes an integer of 0 or more, and wherein the first set of SC-FDMA symbols includes SC-FDMA symbols #n−2, #n+2, #n+5 and #n+6 and the second set of SC-FDMA symbols includes SC-FDMA symbols #n−1, #n+1, #n+3 and #n+4.

2

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when a normal cyclic prefix (CP) is configured, the subframe includes 14 SC-FDMA symbols and SC-FDMA symbol #n is SC-FDMA symbol #3.

3

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when an extended cyclic prefix (CP) is configured, the subframe includes 12 SC-FDMA symbols and SC-FDMA symbol #n is SC-FDMA symbol #2.

4

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the RI is mapped to SC-FDMA symbols #n−2 and #n+2 and then is mapped to SC-FDMA symbols #n+5 and #n+6.

5

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the HARQ-ACK is mapped to SC-FDMA symbols #n−1 and #n+1 and then is mapped to SC-FDMA symbols #n+3 and #n+4.

6

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink signal includes a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal.

7

7. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising: a radio frequency (RF) unit; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to generate rank information (RI) and hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information and transmit the uplink signal via a plurality of single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols in a subframe, wherein the uplink signal includes the RI and the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the plurality of SC-FDMA symbols includes SC-FDMA symbol #n for a reference signal (RS), a first set of SC-FDMA symbols for the RI and a second set of SC-FDMA symbols for the HARQ-ACK and n denotes an integer of 0 or more, and wherein the first set of SC-FDMA symbols includes SC-FDMA symbols #n−2, #n+2, #n+5 and #n+6 and the second set of SC-FDMA symbols includes SC-FDMA symbols #n−1, #n+1, #n+3 and #n+4.

8

8. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein, when a normal cyclic prefix (CP) is configured, the subframe includes 14 SC-FDMA symbols and SC-FDMA symbol #n is SC-FDMA symbol #3.

9

9. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein, when an extended cyclic prefix (CP) is configured, the subframe includes 12 SC-FDMA symbols and SC-FDMA symbol #n is SC-FDMA symbol #2.

10

10. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the RI is mapped to SC-FDMA symbols #n−2 and #n+2 and then is mapped to SC-FDMA symbols #n+5 and #n+6.

11

11. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the HARQ-ACK is mapped to SC-FDMA symbols #n−1 and #n+1 and then is mapped to SC-FDMA symbols #n+3 and #n+4.

12

12. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the uplink signal includes a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal.
